Artistry In the Evening Sky

While driving down a country road one eve, I took a look up in the western sky; The sight I saw was awesome to receive As God’s artwork there met my watching eye. The sun was shining through the scattered clouds And making stairways with its brilliant rays. I’d love to climb one if I were allowed, Ascending I would sing my Savior’s praise. Then as I turned to go there from the west, The eastern sky was blackened with the rain, And as I drove into it I was blessed To see a rainbow’s color once again. So brilliant was it on its canvas dark; A dimmer one accompanied at its side. So awed was I at this sight to embark, With joy in voice to heaven then I cried. No way could evolution draw this art! I thought as through the pouring rain I went; I know God gave that picture in my heart Of the majestic colors that He spent. A stairway up to heaven in sun’s rays, A rainbow arc of color there so bright, And just the thoughts of giving God the praise— What artristy in evening sky that night!
